ever, and might require a different sequence.
1. Position fireplace in desired location. Refer to the
"Location of Fireplace" and "Clearances and Height
Requirements," and "Firebox Framing" sections found
in this manual. Note: Be sure all packing material has
been removed from underside of the unit.

tion of the unit.
